Chapter 1087: On the Eve of the Immortal Sect's Immortal Dao Civilization Great Breakthrough

With the influx of numerous Void Refinement and Dao Merging scriptures, the Immortal Gate's Immortal Dao foundation suddenly surged, internal contradictions vanished in an instant, and various policies advanced with great smoothness.

"The wisdom of the Immortal Dao's predecessors, regardless of their path, can all be inherited by us."

Yuan sighed.

"There's something I need to tell everyone: the birth of the Immortal Gate's Void Refinement scriptures will have to be delayed somewhat—perhaps several decades, perhaps over a hundred years."

He continued.

"But is this because of those Great Sun Sword Pavilion Void Refinement scriptures?"

Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun asked.

"Yes."

"Looking at it now, merely having slightly comprehended the true Void Refinement and Dao Merging scriptures, I feel that the Void Refinement scriptures the Immortal Gate is about to produce are still not perfect enough—too petty, too narrow-minded. They only focus on Void Refinement without paving the way for the realms beyond, which would be greatly detrimental to the Immortal Gate's future."

Yuan said: "Therefore, I intend to revise the Immortal Gate's Void Refinement scriptures. I can't say I'll achieve absolute perfection—that's impossible—but I can say I'll push us to our limit, so that the future will have fewer detours."

"If not for the war, the Immortal Gate's overly slow birth of Void Refinement cultivators could lead to destruction. I would even want to spend several thousand years repeatedly revising the Void Refinement scriptures."

Yuan felt some regret.

As for directly cultivating the six cultivation-method arts of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion?

That is unrealistic.

Any single Void Refinement path is intimately tied to magic treasures, divine souls, magic power, pills, industrial systems, and so on. For an Immortal Gate Soul Transformation cultivator to abandon their own path to switch to other Gong Fa is to give up their future advancement; moreover, the switch might not even succeed, and they would have to gamble on the one-in-five-hundred or one-in-a-thousand advancement success rate that ordinary loose cultivators face.

This means giving up their position within the Immortal Gate's Immortal Dao industrial great cycle, starting everything over from scratch.

For every Immortal Gate cultivator qualified to advance to Void Refinement, this is unacceptable.

"Being slower is normal."

"You see, the Immortal Gate's greatest gain this time is not these Dao Merging and Void Refinement scriptures."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun took up the thread, excitedly saying: "It is the *Sun Moon Sword Scripture*!"

"The Gen Ben Gong Fa of the Sun Moon Sword Pavilion—though incomplete—is a genuine Gong Fa above the Dao Merging realm."

"With such a Gong Fa as reference, commanding the high ground, the Immortal Gate's path will at least not deviate too far from the great Dao. Ahead there is a distant, yet clearly visible goal."

"In the long view, the significance of this far surpasses the other Dao Merging and Void Refinement scriptures."

"The only slight regret is, I can't really understand it…"

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun felt a bit awkward.

After this long-winded speech, ending with a line about not really understanding it—like some amateur enthusiast rambling on—made his face flush red, wishing he could

dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it himself.

"You can't understand it either? Hahahaha!"

Senior Wanji Canghai Tianjun took up the thread, looking relieved.

"Actually, I don't understand it either…"

"It's like a heavenly book. Reading it for long makes one's divine soul faintly feel a sense of panic. I'm a bit afraid—if this inheritance hadn't had protective prohibitions set within it, a Soul Transformation cultivator's divine soul would shatter upon a single glance…"

"It's far beyond our level…"

The surrounding Tianjuns discussed animatedly, expressions solemn.

This is how precious the inheritance is.

If not for the active cooperation of a certain de facto master of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, it absolutely wouldn't have been this simple.

If one had secretly placed some tricks within the *Sun Moon Sword Scripture*, dozens of the Immortal Gate's hundreds of Soul Transformation cultivators being harmed and killed would have been commonplace.

This kind of most-core, top-tier inheritance—even if laid on the ground, probably not many people would be qualified to pick it up.

"Above Dao Merging, don't consider it for now. Just glance at it occasionally as a guiding light—having a goal is enough."

Yuan waved his hand and said: "Based on my rough estimate, the inheritance already received and digested has directly promoted the completion of one hundred sixty-seven thousand two hundred and ninety-one Immortal Gate projects of various sizes—city-level, provincial-level, national-level, and Immortal Gate-level. Results have emerged, involving Gong Fa, materials, pills, spiritual plant cultivation, spiritual beast cultivation, magic treasure refinement, shipbuilding, and various other aspects."

"It is expected that within several hundred years, the Immortal Gate's Immortal Dao civilization level will see a tremendous elevation!"

"Saying it this way, everyone might not grasp it clearly enough."

Yuan's voice grew louder, Gao Ang: "What this means is, within several hundred years, the Immortal Gate's pills will become more than twice as cheap—half-price discount—yet pill efficacy will increase by at least fifty percent!"

"This means the Immortal Gate fleet's construction costs will drop significantly, while warship performance metrics will actually improve!"

"This means more Soul Transformation cultivators will soon appear in the Immortal Gate!"

"This means the Immortal Gate will produce more spiritual medicines, more spiritual beasts, more Soul Transformation opportunities, more Nascent Soul opportunities, more Jin Dan opportunities!"

"And, more Void Refinement opportunities!!!"

"Void Refinement opportunities!"

In an instant, countless Immortal Gate Tianjuns' eyes lit up, burning with fervor.

At this moment, they knew—Void Refinement might no longer be the exclusive domain of a very few like Yuan.

Perhaps, they too could glimpse a sliver of it.

Even if their talent and gifts were inferior to those few, under the drive of the Immortal Gate's Immortal Dao civilization, further advancement might not be impossible.

"Fellow Daoists, work hard!"

"Boundless opportunities lie before your eyes!"

Yuan was extremely stirred emotionally.

Those who knew him

all knew he had not shown such violently fluctuating emotions for at least several thousand years, yet today they appeared one after another.

"The Immortal Gate has just instantly completed over a hundred thousand research projects, but this doesn't mean we have nothing left to do."

"The Great Sun Sword Pavilion ultimately walks a different path from ours. Although there is overlap, it isn't much. We still need to reference the Great Sun Sword Pavilion inheritance, research and develop the Immortal Dao technologies we need, digest the Great Sun inheritance, and integrate it into our system.

This task is equally arduous, and equally contains boundless wealth and opportunities…"

Yuan was doing his utmost to paint the blueprint.

This isn't empty talk at all — it's describing facts, an objective description of an objectively existing blue ocean.

To be honest, if it weren't for the needs of the Jiao Jiao Mingyu battlefield, and because any great immortal Dao civilization must be built on the foundation of resources and materials, he would have wanted to call his main body back to do scientific research.

"No need to say more."

"Hahaha, this era is just too friendly to us. We can earn money lying down, collecting all kinds of patents. If Soul Transformation cultivators of later generations see the historical records, they'll probably be jealous to death."

"Cut the crap, let's just get to it. Who's coming to team up with me? I'm a senior researcher of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion…"

Countless Canghai Tianjun rolled up their sleeves, each with terrifyingly huge ambitions. Some even fantasized about ascending to the heavens in a single step, snagging first place in the Refinement Void opportunity ranking in one go.

"Senior researcher of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion? Heh heh…"

Many Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun's eyes lit up. They stamped their feet and lunged swiftly toward that blue-robed youth.

A senior researcher of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion?

Bullshit!

The living master of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion is right here!

But just as these Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun were about to make a move, they discovered that Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun, Senior Wanji Canghai Tianjun, Mieri Canghai Tianjun, and others had already conspicuously surrounded Jiang Ding, booking one scientific research project after another.

These old schemers had calculated to the extreme — they had long foreseen this.

"Cunning scoundrels!"

Many Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun cursed loudly, their divine senses rapidly transmitting downward, using brief words to introduce their projects to Jiang Ding, piling on all kinds of tempting research jargon without regard for restraint.

Claims of revolutionary breakthroughs in immortal gate materials science, claims of vital importance to strengthening sword-forging materials, claims that if successful, the Super Sun would advance further… and so on, and so forth.
